BFP 2 days later Bleeding HCG rising. No Baby On US. 5w5ds

I am very worried. I got my BFP on 10-18-2013 Finally after trying for 8 months. This was a Friday. Saturday we left out for Dallas and I drove 9 hours. Sunday we were coming back and about 4 hours into our return trip, I had bleeding. It started out as dark/burgundy red. Not enough for a pad. Then few hours later it turned pink, and later that night turned to brown. Monday, I went to OB. Nothing on US and Hcg was 222. Thursday of that week HCG was 536. Saturday HCG was 1115, Sunday HCG was 1897. Went back to OB on Monday and again, NOTHING on US. HCG on that Monday was 2557. Here it is Wednesday and I have not got my results yet of the HCG but I have another US scheduled for tomorrow. Is there any chance that this baby is going to make it? We tried so very hard for 8 longs months and now this. I have not bled since late Sunday night other than one time of brown spotting the Monday following my bleeding. Please someone give me some answers. 1st day of LMP was 09-20-2013 I got my BFP on 10-18-2013 on CD 29. My cycle before this one was 32 days long. Hope this helps

I just got my HCG results for today. HCG 4634 and on Monday of this week it was 2557. So it didn't double but it was close. Please anyone have any thoughts on this

Hi Samantha,

Some women report spotting during pregnancy, so as long as your HcG levels continue to rise (and they sound sky high!) you should be good. I can understand your alarm though. I just got my first BVeryFaintP yesterday (BFaintP today), and I'm nervous it won't stick. Worrying doesn't help though; staying positive does!

Congratulations!

I don't have any experience with BFPs or HCG levels personally, but your numbers sound really good. I think as long as you aren't having pain, don't worry until you get your next ultrasound. Remember, baby is still microscopic!

I had an US today. They asked me was I sure of my dates and I told them that I knew when the first day of my LMP was but that's it. They saw a very small Possible Gestational Sac and told me to come back Monday. She said if there was no change on Monday that she would recommend a D & C on Tuesday. I would only be 6 weeks 3 days according to LMP on Monday. I told her absolutely NO. I was giving this baby every fighting chance possible.

Samantha, I think that's great. Keep that positive attitude and serous pray for your little developing baby. Prayer does work! =)

Your numbers sound good - I hate to scare you... my HCG levels continued to rise I had a missed miscarriage. BUT.... in saying that I agree I wouldn't get a dnc until you had a scan 1-2 weeks later to ensure the baby hasn't grown anymore in size. Good Luck!

I got my HCG levels checked again today and they were 7374 It didn't double but it did rise!! It has always went up. I am praying that this little one is going to make it. On Monday of this week they didn't see anything, and then Wednesday they saw a small GS. Any other women with this same experience or any insight for me please respond. Thanks

Hi there. I agree you should hang in there and not go for a D&C unless you were absolutely sure there was no baby. If you ovulated later than expected you could be only about 5 weeks along. That would explain only a small gestational sack being visible. Try not to let them stress you at this point. There is absolutely nothing you can do either way. Based on my experience with my miscarriage I would rather not have had all the blood tests and scans. We decided that next time we would leave having a scan as long as possible. If a miscarriage is going to happen you can't stop it anyway and I think the stress probably contributed to mine. You HcG certainly sounds a lot better than mine was (after 10 weeks it still hadn't got much over 9000). Have you told anyone about your situation? I found I wished I hadn't told anyone about our in-limbo stage of not knowing if things were okay (this stage lasted a month!) When things did go wrong I hated knowing that any minute a family member might ring and ask if things were okay. We felt we needed to grieve ourselves first. I hope everything does go smoothly for you and that it is just early. Think positive!!!!

it may be that you implanted later than you think, it happened to me but we saw baby at 6 weeks 4 days(i was supposed to be 7 weeks 2 days according to my LMP) anyway baby was really tiny but we heard a heartbeat of 122 bpm which my doc said was low, she had me come back for a repeat ultrasound after 2 weeks and we saw baby at 8 weeks 4 days (date given by doc according to babys measurements) baby looked like a jelly baby lol but heart rate went up to 176 or 172, and at 12 weeks i saw my little 1 dancing with a heart rate of 160. basically if you think you are 6 weeks 3 days according to what you said in a previous post, you may only be 5 weeks and some days, and at 5 weeks you dont see much else besides the gastational sac, at 6 weeks my little 1 was just a blob no baby shape at all, and i thought i was 7 weeks at that time, there was a sac visible and a tiny solid shape next to that, so dont give up you are proberly abit earlier than you think, you may have ovulated late or implanted late you never know, i was on clomid and ovulated "on time"(cd 14 the 1st 2 months) and the 3rd month a proberly ovulated cd18 or so and thats when i got my bfp, we can never just assume it happens the same day everymonth dispite the pattern we think our bodies follow, im now 14 weeks along and some times i think i feel flutters in my tummy my heart says its baby but i gotta wait abit longer b4 i know for sure, my doc told me after my 1st blood test she thinks i will have another MC due to low hcg and here i am 14 weeks preg and able to find my babys heartbeat with a doppler, dont give up im sure your baby is fine your numbers are good and it does not need to double exactly as long as its more than two thirds or somthing like that its considered normal, goodluck
